Hey girl, how are you? Just wanted to tell you that I met the founder of this Travel Massive at TBEX. He is interested in connecting with someone in Manila to start one there. Do you want to? I can connect you with him. It's an interesting set-up because its not only for travel bloggers but people from the travel industry and start-ups. Let me know...

Connecting people in the travel industry?

Sounds like something I'd love to bring to Manila. This only meant one thing: FUN! I love getting into fun projects to bring people together for collaboration, networking and plain old hanging out over a bottle of beer. Four months later, I have joined forces with 3 other travel-crazy, passionate individuals to present: Travel Massive Invades Manila!

Established in 2009 by travel enthusiasts Ian Cummings and Alicia Smith, Travel Massive has become a leading global movement , which aims to bring stakeholders in the travel industry-airlines, hotels, online websites, start-ups, writers and travel aficionados , in one venue to discuss possible synergy and partnership opportunities.

Travel Massive is currently being organized in 24 global cities including Paris, Melbourne, Sydney, San Francisco, Madrid, Moscow and Toronto among others.

In the Philippines, the first-ever Travel Massive gathering will be held at B-Side, Pasong Tamo Makati on October 19, 6:00-9:00 PM.

I believe that holding the first-ever Travel Massive event in the Philippines is just the beginning and I hope that more and more travel professionals will take notice and eventually join the movement. We are holding the first-ever event this October but we hope to continue to do this every other month, while building the travel community here in the country.
